A member asked:

What should i do if my daughter is a juvenile diabetic with sores on her scalp?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Seek med advice: Sores on scalp in a diabetic might mean that her sugar control may not have been optimal and she might also need antibiotics for the sores. Poorly controlled diabetes caused poor wound healing. So see doctor.
